NICA Integrated Pelletizing Systems Developed specifically for the pharmaceutical industry, the NICA Integrated Pelletizing System (IPS) fuses NICA extrusion and spheronization technologies to create a range of compact, continuous solutions for the production of spherical pellets. NICA Integrated Systems The NICA Integrated Pelletizing system is available in five sizes, with continuous production rates ranging from less than 5 kg/h to more than 200 kg/h. The NICA IPS5 operates exclusively as a process module on the GEA PharmaConnect® platform, combining the NICA E100 basket extruder with the NICA S250 spheronizer. As a development-scale machine, extrudate dosing is user controlled with a manual PTFE valve, avoiding the need for manual handling. Likewise, finished product discharge from the spheronizer is manually controlled, aided by a timer system. Perfectly sized for small-scale development, the IPS5 can deliver pellets from as little as 50 g of wet mass; with sufficient raw material, however, production rates of 5 kg/h can be achieved. Further details of the IPS5 are available through the PharmaConnect® page. The IPS25 combines the NICA E140 Extruder with the NICA S450 Spheronizer to deliver a market-leading solution for pilot-scale pellet production. Fitted with an actuated dosing valve, the system can automatically transfer consistent batches from the extruder to spheronizer and deliver a continuous production capacity of around 25 kg/h. Operating in manual mode, the IPS25 is equally suitable for lab-scale operations with batch sizes as little as 400 g.
